The Forgotten Cards
Pikachu
Part 5a

Thursday April 8, 2004

Well, I guess I’m not doing as much writing as I thought I would over Spring 
Break. Oh well. Here’s Part 5 anyway!

	Everything had been quiet for days. The sky had been constantly cloudy and 
the sun had only peeked out for a minute or two. They were all getting 
depressed.

	“This bites.” Ash complained as they traveled across a dirt road. “How much 
longer is it going to stay like this?”

	“What I want to know is when is the next Clow Card going to show up? There 
hasn’t been one around for days and days.” Sakura said.

	“For you it’s been longer since I helped you catch the last one.” Misty 
replied.

***Flashback***

      I have no idea what to do!” Misty said, worriedly.

	“Which card do you think would work the best?” Kero asked.

	“Snow would probably work. But it would be a very short time to capture it. 
And I can’t transform it. Sakura has to.” Misty said.

	“Just try it.” Yue said. Debris was now whipping past them.

	“I think Shield would be a wise choice to use first.” Misty said.

	“Use it then. You’re the only one who can capture the card right now.” Kero 
said.

	“Right. Shield! Come to my aid form a barrier around us to protect us!” 
Misty shouted. A bubble-like shield formed around them just in time.

	“Okay. Now try the Snow Card!” Yue shouted over the roar of the tornadoes.

	“Right. Snow! Come to my aid! Release and freeze Summer! Snow!” Misty 
shouted. The others watched, amazed from the ground as white snow flew 
around every raindrop, every tornado, and froze it.

	“Look there!” Misty shouted. She was pointing to a ball that looked like 
the Sun.

	“That’s Summer’s form! Seal it quick!” Kero shouted. Ash he said it, the 
ice was starting to crack around it.

	“Right. Summer Card! Return to your power confined! Summer Card!” Misty 
shouted. It was just in time. The Summer Card broke free just as she 
finished saying the incantation. It flew towards the card and then was 
sealed. The tornadoes, rain, wind, and clouds all disappeared and left a 
sunny sky. They flew back just as Sakura woke up.

***End Flashback***

	“Yeah. You’re right. I didn’t seal that one. I would’ve if a huge rock 
wouldn’t have came pelting at me.” Sakura said with narrowed eyes.

	“Well, I get the feeling another Clow Card is going to show itself here 
soon.” Madison said. Sure enough, right after she said it, Sakura turned 
toward the East. Li did to. Misty didn’t.

	“Clow Card right?” Ash and Brock asked.

	“Yep. It’s not far away either.” Yue said. Suddenly, a huge bolt of 
lightning struck at their feet and sent them flying. Li, Madison, and Brock 
went flying East. Yue and Ash went flying West and Sakura, Misty, and Kero 
went flying South.

      Sakura woke up a few minutes later, rubbing her head.

	“What happened?” Sakura asked. Kero was flying around them.

	“The Lightning Card. It struck by us and made us fly in all directions.” 
Kero explained.

	“Oh great. We have to try and find the others while hunting down a Clow 
Card.” Misty sighed. Suddenly, yet another bolt of lightning struck right by 
them followed by more bolts.

	“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” They all screamed.

	“SAKURA! YOU NEED TO USE YOUR MAGIC!” Misty shouted as a particularly big 
bolt sent shards of rock flying at them.

	“Right. Oh key of the Star. With powers burning bright. Reveal the staff, 
and shine your light!” Sakura shouted. She now had the staff but the 
Lightning Card struck it and made it fly far into the grassy field.

	“NOT COOL! YOU STUPID CARD!!!” Sakura shouted.

	“We need to go get the staff!” Misty replied.

	“That won’t be easy. The Lightning Card’s guarding it.” Kero said. All 
around the staff were bolts of lightning that were flying from the cloud.

	“That won’t stop me.” Sakura shouted. Before they could stop her, she dove 
in and grabbed the staff. The Lightning tried to strike it out of her hand 
but it didn’t work. Sakura leapt out just in time and pulled out the Summer 
Card.

	“It’s time that you cleared up Lightning!” Sakura shouted.

	“Are you sure this is going to work?” Misty said.

	“It better. It’s the only plan I have.” Sakura replied.

	“Well, go for it champ!” Kero shouted. Sakura nodded and tossed the card up 
into the air.

	“I call upon the powers of my star. Ancient forces near and far. Clow Card 
transform all your might, and draw your power from my light!” Sakura 
shouted. The Summer Card sparkled for a second then became pink.

	“Summer Card! Clear up the skies and expose Lightning! Star Card!” Sakura 
shouted. They watched as the tiny sun flew towards all the clouds and made 
them disappear. All but a small cloud did which most likely contained 
Lightning.

	“So what are you going to do now?” Misty asked.

	“I think we’re about to find out.” Kero replied. Sakura took out yet 
another card and tossed it into the air.

	“Windy! Tangle Lightning! Release and dispel!” Sakura shouted. The Windy 
Card flew into the cloud and before they knew it, a single bolt of Lightning 
was visible.

	“Is that Lightning’s visible form?” Misty asked.

	“Yes! Seal it quick Sakura!” Kero shouted.

	“Right. Lightning Card! Return to your power confined! Lightning Card!” 
Sakura shouted. The Card put up a good fight and didn’t want to be drawn in. 
It lost and got sucked back into its card form.

	“Well, that was a particularly annoying card to catch.” Sakura said.

	“Yeah but now we have another problem.” Misty said as the sun was finally 
shining.

	“What’s that?” Kero asked.

	“We have to find the others.” Misty replied.
